[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/6] error: Misc cleanups and improvements

[Cole Robinson]

Minor error API cleanups, and one error reporting improvement when
connected to qmp (patch #6)

Cole Robinson (6):
  slirp: Remove default_mon usage
  vnc: Remove default_mon usage
  error: Privatize error_print_loc
  monitor: Remove unused monitor_print_filename
  error: Remove redundant error_printf_unless_qmp
  error: Print error_report() to stderr if using qmp

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/6] slirp: Remove default_mon usage

[Cole Robinson]

These errors don't seem user initiated, so forcibly printing to the
monitor doesn't seem right. Just print to stderr.

Drop lprint since it's now unused.

The first two are not OK. Instead of fprintf(stderr), error_report()
should be used, which prints an optional timestamp and executable name
and doesn't need to be terminated with \n.

For the loop where it's protected by #ifdef DEBUG anyway, fprintf()
should be fine, but I do wonder why there's only separators being
converted inside the loop and no value... guessing the original code was
inconsistent?

AFAICT this is only guest initiated, never from the monitor. error_report
sends output to cur_mon if a monitor command is being processed. If this
message triggers while a different monitor command is being processed, do we
really want this unrelated output to go to the monitor?

(Maybe that can't happen in practice, I don't know enough about qemu's
threading model, but I was being cautious)

If cur_mon is non-null while we're executing anything but a monitor in
the main thread, it's a bug.

That leaves signal handlers (which shouldn't care), and other threads.
Other threads used not to exist, and then our first ones didn't care,
but with more of them around now, I wonder whether we should make
cur_mon thread-local.

error_report() should remain usable when fprintf() is.

Both should use error_report(), no? We really need clear-to-understand
rules of when to use which API and then stick with them.

The last usage of it was dropped with:

Author: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

    hmp: Make "info block" output more readable

Previously it was used to escape file= and backing_file= in 'info block' output.

I sent this patch because I noticed it was unused, maybe someone else can
comment on whether it's still useful?

That's no real answer. Why did it need to be escaped before the commit
Cole pointed to and now no longer is?

My point was that someone went throught the hassle of creating a stub
file just for this functionality, so it's not some random unused
function in some file. (But I'm not particularly attached to it, just
cautioning about removing too much in this non-verbose way, making it
hard to follow for outsiders.)

Valid question, but it applies to the commits that dropped uses, not to
Cole's patch.

The function goes back to 2006, commit fef3074 "Escape filname printout
properly".  This made "info block" print some but not all funny
characters in filenames more legibly.  Dropped in Kevin's commit fbe2e26
"hmp: Make "info block" output more readable" from last June.  Could be
regarded as regression.  Not sure we care.

A second use was introduced a couple of months later, in commit a9ce859
"info vnc command".  Reason for escaping isn't obvious to me.  Dropped
in commit 1ff7df1 "Enhance 'info vnc' monitor output", which prints
something else entirely.

Sounds like you'd like a more vebose commit message.  What information
would you like to see?

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/6] error: Remove redundant error_printf_unless_qmp

Since commit 74ee59a:

    monitor: drop unused monitor debug code
    
    In the old QMP days, this code was used to find out QMP commands that
    might be calling monitor_printf() down its call chain.
    
    This is almost impossible to happen today, because the qapi converted
    commands don't even have a monitor object. Besides, it's been more than
    a year since I used this last time.
    
    Let's just drop it.

I gave my R-by then, but I'm no longer sure it was a sensible move.
Attempting to print in QMP context is as much a sign of trouble as it
ever was.  I hate sweeping signs of trouble under the carpet.  If misuse
is really "almost impossible", then we should assert() it is, and fix
the bugs caught by it.

I can see error_printf() / error_printf_unless_qmp() used in a couple of
ways:

1. Print hints after qerror_report(), with error_printf_unless_qmp()

   qerror_report() is a transitional interface to help with converting
   existing HMP commands to QMP.  It should not be used elsewhere.

   We suppress the hints in QMP, because the QMP wire format doesn't
   provide for hints.

   We can't add hints to an error when using error_set(), because that
   API lacks support for hints.  Pity.

   Examples: see your patch below.

2. Print hints after error_report(), with error_printf()

   Use of error_report() in QMP context is a sign of trouble just like
   any other non-JSON output to the monitor.

   error_printf() rather than error_printf_unless_qmp(), because the
   latter explicitly signals intent "skip this in QMP", while the former
   signals "QMP should not happen".

   The difference in intent is what makes me wary of this patch.

   Example: vfio_pci_load_rom().

3. Ordinary output in code shared between command line and HMP, with
   error_printf()

   error_printf() was pressed into use as convenient "print to monitor
   in HMP context, else to tty" function.  Inappropriate, because it
   prints to stderr rather than stdout.

   Examples: many help texts under is_help_option().

4. Warnings, with error_printf()

   I figure these should use error_report() instead.

   Examples: block/ssh.c, hw/misc/vfio.c, ...

We haven't been able to repair this breakage for a while, so giving up
and removing its debris isn't unreasonable.  However, I'd rather keep it
for now as a reminder of the deficiency in the error_set() API.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/6] error: Print error_report() to stderr if using qmp

[Cole Robinson]

monitor_printf will drop the requested output if cur_mon is qmp (for
good reason). However these messages are often helpful for debugging
issues with via libvirt.

If we know the message won't hit the monitor, send it to stderr.
